Replacing glass in my Prius

Three times my Prius has had cracks in the windshield from rocks hitting it. This time I replaced the windshield instead of having them plug the crack. I asked the glass guy if he gets a lot of Priui. He said he did. He gave some theory why but I said I had a different theory:

When the windshield is more vertical air pressure builds in front of the windshield and protects it. Any small rock heading toward a vertical windshield is slowed by this layer of presserized air. The Prius’ windshield is more horizontal than vertical so the air pressure is much less (better gas mileage) so rocks hit without any buffer.  

Basketball over. Baseball on the way.

We have season tickets to two sports: Aztecs Basketball, and Padres baseball. The Aztecs had an OK season that went downhill in the second half of conference play after one of our better players was suspended. We might have been able to maintain our level of play (6-2 through the first half) if we hadn’t had one starter suspended before the season and another player’s season eneded by a knee injury. The second half of conference play ened with us posting a 3-5 record. Disappointing.

The great thing is, we don’t have to wait long for baseball. This Friday we go to Petco Park for a pre-season game versus the Angels. This should be an interesting season. Of the 5 teams in our division 4 have the chance of being the best in the entire NL. Last year the Diamondbacks had the best record and the Padres and Rockies were only 1 game back. A very tough division. We have tickets to 42 games. That takes a lot of our time until after September.

I started a blog

Aaron’s blog convinced me to start one. Here it is.
